An Elegant and Immersive Atmosphere

For the 15th consecutive year, Tony Schubert of Event Eleven transformed the Shrine Auditorium stage into a refined setting with dark wood trumpet columns, rust-colored drapery, and a blend of off-white, teal, and blue furnishings. The design created a balance of warmth and sophistication, elevating the post-gala ambiance.
